Everyone knows the small insects called mosquito. It is possible to find mosquitoes in almost every part of the world except in the places where it is extremely cold or where it is very dry. During the summer, it is almost certain that you can find many mosquitoes near swamps (沼泽), ponds, and lakes.
Mosquitoes have an interesting life cycle. The female mosquito bites a person or animal in order to get some blood. She needs this blood before she can lay her eggs. Second, she flies to an area of water and deposits (存放),40 her eggs in the water. In a few days the eggs open, and the baby mosquitoes, called larvae, come out. In a short time, they will be mature and fly away.

听力原文： A man who fired three shots into a crowded birthday party killing one man and wounding two other people has been sentenced to six years in prison. 36-year-old Mark Eastwood was in court for sentencing today after a jury had found him guilty of manslaughter but not guilty of murder.
Mark Eastwood snapped after being kept awake for four successive nights by noisy parties yards away from his home. He took a loaded revolver and fired three shots through the window of a house in the southeastern part of the city. A 25-year-old man at the party died after being hit in the head, two other people were seriously wounded. The court was told that Eastwood had a lengthy criminal record for dishonesty and he was keeping the gun without a licence. Sentencing him to six years in prison, Mr Justice Dawson said, "No one must be allowed to kill innocent people and not be severely punished."
The man was convicted for
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drank within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were tolerant in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18.After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped is back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was "obviously intoxicated" and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the fatalities continue to daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the "noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because ______.
